After having a bad season in the IPL 2018 with Kings XI Punjab, the team released Yuvraj Singh. His base price for the IPL 2019 was Rs 1 crore. While a lot of Yuvi fans might have expected takers for the batsmen, silence filled the room as soon as his name was pulled out by Hugh Edmeades. Yuvi remained unsold despite the fact that most of the netizens rooted for the explosive left-hander when the teams asked for the suggestions of the players. Sadly things didn't shape up for him as expected. Check IPL 2019 Auctions Live News Updates at LatestLY. 

Yuvi in IPL 2018, played eight matches and scored only 65 runs with an average of 10. During the last season, he was subjected to trolls and was made to sit on the bench after a series of failures in the IPL 11. He had a strike rate of 89.04 in IPL 2018. Yuvraj, who fetched a record Rs 16 crore deal in his prime, was bought by Kings XI Punjab for his base price of Rs 2 crore at the auction held before the last edition. While Chris Gayle repaid the faith KXIP posed in him with a fruitful season, Yuvraj could not set the house on fire, managing just 65 runs in eight games. No wonder the team decided to release him.

The 37-year-old, who last played for India in June 2017, has put himself in the Rs 1 crore base price bracket this time alongside other capped Indians - Wriddhiman Saha, Mohammed Shami and Axar Patel. Only time will tell if Yuvi gets any takers in round two.
